Msguided adventures of living

I have found blog happiness elsewhere friends and hence am not here much these days...lol

Here's the link if anybody wants to keep track of my misguided adventures. Peace x

 

 

 

This week goes broadly along these lines...

 

1. I love this song by Mister Speed!!!  (hit play on the Media Player and rock out with it!) For those of u unfamiliar with Mister Speed here's the blurb from JJJ

 

 

2. Movies watched include: Devil wears Prada, Veronica Guerin, Look Both Ways, The World, El Norte.... started back at uni on Wednesday so my fabbo movie watching pastime coming to a screeching halt!!

 

3. Finished another book by Belle De Jour - I need to give up otherwise I'm starting to think being a London Call Girl sounds like a great career option ..lol

 

4. Completed the Enneagram on my quest for further self knowledge - turns out I'm a 7..I'm pretty happy and not surprised about that - its a bit of fun so here's the link

5. I pulled a calf muscle doin laps on Tues... Personally I think the flippers had something to do with it..lol! Very handsome GP examined and has referred me to physio - I shall definately rest with my leg up this weekend Doc!

 

6. A bunch of us are going camping this weekend and I am soo excited!! Big feral weekend with nature and about 30 folks from New Years party and Australia Day party..last bastion of partying before v.serious semester work starts!!

 

7. I have come to the v.smart decision that I am never going to sleep with any of the ex's again... and this doesn't mean thats what I did this week - but I mused over it...lol  Came to the conclusion that there are too many drawbacks including

 

 * There's a good reason why we're not together anymore..

 * One of us will think this means the relationships is back on. Normally it isn't me but who knows??

 * There's no way I could tell any of my friends without seeming like the world biggest effing tart. After, all they lived through the various stages of breaking up!

 

 Which then has got me thinking..hmm who am I going to sleep with?? Myself I think is the safest option for now! Off to pack so hope all is sunny and wonderful cya  xoxox

 

 

 

                             The other 10 Commandments

 

1. I am woman, the one in charge of conversation. Thou shalt not have any subject changes unapproved by me.

 

2. Thou  shalt remember the first ten minutes of the morning and keep them holy. The period before my first cup of tea is not suitable for chat.

 

3. Thou shalt not refer to sporting analogies too often.

 

4. Thou shalt not interrupt The Simpsons even if it is dubbed in Spanish and the only thing I understand is Mr Burns saying ' Excelente'.

 

5. Thou shalt not covet another woman's rack unless I have mentioned it first.

 

6. Thou shalt not refer to PMT, even if I am clearly experiencing it.

 

7. Thou shalt not pronounce the word 'controversy' with undue stress on the second vowel. Do you know how annoying that is to everyone else?

 

8. Thou shalt not use the word 'hypocrsy' in conversation. Thou art not twelve anymore. In writing thou shalt not spell the word 'hippocracy'. That would be a government run by horses. There are online dictionaries, and thou shalt make use of them.

 

9. Thou shalt not expect conversation when I am reading, even if it is only the paper or a packet of rice.

 

10. Thou shalt not talk to me through the toilet door. Ever. That's just wrong.

 

Taken from "The Further Adventures of a London Call girl"...hmmmm... I think there's something in that for all of us don't u?

Well today has been an adventure in itself as I decided to venture into the city with my angels to do a bit of shopping and have a bit of lunch but of course I DIDN't check the calender and indeed Chinese New Year is upon us! Hence, we didn't get our fave place to have Yum Cha and plan our day in a civilised fashion and ended up going to a crappy Sushi train arrangement which was overpriced, crowded and serving what could hardly be phrased as 'sushi'. Needless to say, I was questioning my brilliance at sugesting such a plan cos I really needed to go and do some serious shopping and was hoping to ply the girls with fabbo food and green tea in order to give them the energy required to complete my major assignment which was buying some 'beauty products'. Fortunately for me tho - it is the Prosperity YEAR OF THE BOAR and in fact my fortune cookie was right on target. We hung out in Chinatown for a while scoring some Hello Kitty gear for our next exchange students before heading to the city for the task at hand. At first I thought it wise to organise the angels on the glass elevator whilst I procured aforementioned multi vitamin power firming eye cream but they soon had my number on that trick and saw the bright lights of the cosmetic counters calling their names.

 

There IS a point to this tale - but as usual I prefer the unabridged version..lol

 

First stop a Dermalogica agent where I proceeded to have a coronary when the helpful assistant told me it would cost eighty buck to buy a 15ml tube of stiff I bought in Hong Kong for nineteen!!! That's when the phrase....... PIGS MIGHT FLY springs to mind - I mean there's indulging oneself and then there's crossing over to madness by paying too much money & being conned senselessly!! So, with this in mind I took the angels and I off for a bit of market research... Heading off to Clarins, Jurlique, Shisedo, Clinique etc etc to see what their comparable products offered - I thought the angels should be low key and expressed this to them which they ignored and attempted to engage the shop assistant in some friendly banter at every opportunity. The end of the story is that I've ended up with a samples of everything in every range (reminding self of Rachel Anniston in Friends with Money..lol) and I can only put it down to a couple of things

 

A. They saw I really needed cosmetic assistance and were keen to help.

B. They were enchanted with my girls ability to converse about the latest products on offer, and keen to propogate them like seedlings...

C. They wanted to give me stuff to help me with premature ageing cos they could see that I shall have my hands full with angels, hence, need all the help I can get!

D. It was a quiet day and they just were feeling particularly generous and assistful??

E. The universe was once again on my side and didn't wish for me to pay ridiculous $$ for ridiculous product and thought maybe I just needed some products to check for comparasion in value for money??

 

I choose E. (following epiphamy of yesterday). But, I also marched us off to the Body Shop as a bit of a final research to see if they had something that could be passed off as what I was seeking and indeed they did WOO HOO! In fact, for way less I was able to get a bagful of goodies in order to maintain my face and lip area, reduce the appearance of fine lines and enhance the skin's natural elasticity..lol Does this sound like some blend of mysogynistic cliches cooked up by advertising executives?? U bet - but I am woman - see me shop!! Cya xox
